Truth is, nobody knows. Just like last year how everybody said Va Tech would beat KU by three TD's. Kansas won their BCS bowl game and then nobody nationally even gave them any credit...

I'll be interested in that matchup, but Mizzou should win by 30 points.

Their conference is a fraud (yes I know the BIG 10 sucks as well) and they are really the only good (many times great) team year after year. It angers me because these games could be a tremendous economic boost for some towns that really need them (which in my eyes wouldn't include southern cal).

Take Ford Field in Detroit for instance (It's a Dome, so you southerners won't freeze.), you could play a BCS game there and it would help the local economy. People would still tune in (It's not like people are going to say, well I don't like watching inclimate destinations on TV) and watch the game. Sure, maybe the benefit to the local economy woulnd't be as big, because people are less likely to travel to Detroit in winter than to Southern Cal, but it would be better than nothing. I really cannot think of one rational reason not to have a BCS game in either the midwest or northeastern part of the country.

Because their pockets are lined by the bowl committees and the advertisers who pay for those games.

There is a very good chance of that happening. Texas is not only a better team, but they will be extra motivated to prove that they should be playing for the championship. Of course I hope the Buckeyes win, but this has disaster written all over it.

Speaking of which, VT is off to the races again. Where's my "Beamer Sucks"-buddy from posts gone by?

Yeah, ol Beamer REALLY sucks! ****tard.

That's one reason I'd like to see a playoff... they could ship teams off to regionals like March Madness. There would be a lot more excitement, and the NCAA would get more money, because you would be adding games to the 84 current bowls.

They would still get their bowls and their ad money... and I don't know what other useless things the committees do besides picking the games, but they might as well be relieved of that duty because they aren't very good at it, and it's mostly pigeon-holing anyway.

People would much rather travel to Miami, LA, New Orleans or Glendale than some shit town.

Hey, as long as we get to keep playing Bowl Games in "America's Ass Pit; Texas", what's to complain about?
